"My 3 weeks volunteer abroad in India with iSpiice were more than anything I could have imagined. Before I went to India to do Volunteer work in India. I had never left the US, and truly did not understand how people lived in other countries, but after I volunteered it really opened my eyes and showed me a new way of life. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone wishing to volunteer abroad in India. Volunteering India with iSpiice was very helpful. Kristyn Brisnehan, USAWhy to Volunteer in India? Of course, India is far from alone in requiring the assistance of overseas volunteers. There are many countries throughout the world where the citizens face difficult circumstances, so why should you pick India? India’s problems are due in no small part to its vast size. With a population of over one billion -- more than any other country on earth -- and a vast, often difficult landscape, the scale of assistance that India requires is staggering to behold. It is thought that 20% of Indian citizens live in impoverished circumstances, which in a population of this size, equates to millions. The need is very real and impacts a huge number of people. It is also worth noting that India is a country where volunteering is a known quantity. At iSpiice, we have a long history of working in the country, so we know exactly how to provide programs that are truly going to make a difference. Finally, India truly is a wonderful country. It has its problems, but it also has a unique character and charm that make it one of the most beloved tourist destinations on the planet. If you wish to combine your volunteering efforts with sightseeing, then India is absolutely the best country for you to consider. From the world-famous Taj Mahal to the snowy-capped Himalayan mountains, there’s something for everyone in India.
India has an estimated population of 1.324 billion, and many millions of those people live in poverty without much hope of improving their situations. iSpiice believes that helping those in need is a duty for those who come from wealthy countries in the West. Anyone who decides to take part in one of our volunteering programs will make a real difference, and they’ll also gain some valuable life experience in the process. Spending time with people from other cultures is the best way to open your mind and see the world from a new and beautiful perspective. Choose iSpiice this year, and you’re guaranteed to have a positive impact on the lives of some of India's most deprived women and children.

The Golden Temple is the most important site for followers of the Sikh religion and the serene waters surrounding the temple, known as ‘The Pool of Nectar’ even gave Amritsar its name (Amrit-sarovar). The Temple is testament to Sikh hospitality as 45,000 people are given a meal for free in the Temple grounds each day, prepared by 1500 volunteers. The Temple complex has four entrances instead of the usual single entry and this symbolizes the openness of Sikhism, indicating that followers of all faiths are allowed inside.

Crowds gather here to witness its theatrics and the party-like atmosphere is the perfect way to start off your trip in Punjab.
